Here's a couple seperate incidents involving racism at clubs in calgary

Quote:
"I've lived in Calgary for 24 years and I've never come across racism that blatant," said Christina Kang of Calgary. "I've never not been welcome somewhere because I'm Asian."

Kang, along with friends Glenda Sanchez, Bosco Fung and three others, were turned away from the Palace nightclub on the evening of May 26. The group, all of Asian descent, were attempting to join a friend's farewell party. Kang, Sanchez and Fung described how bouncers insisted on five specific pieces of identification, including a driver's license, passport, prison ID card, army certificate and a visitor's visa card.

Manpreet Dhami just wanted a drink with his friends when they visited Bourbon Street Calgary, also on May 26. When Dhami and his two Caucasian friends reached the front of the line his friends were admitted.However, Dhami said he was told the club would not permit East Indians. Bewildered and disturbed, Dhami and his friends left.
